Sameer Mehta, MD, FACC, MBA, is a U.S. interventional cardiologist who has presaged a new medical specialty of the STEMI Interventionist with his innovative work in performing angioplasty for treating heart attacks. Dr. Mehta has pioneered the development of population-based heart attack programs in several countries including China, India, Brazil, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Egypt, Thailand, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Colombia.
Dr. Mehta is the Chairman of the Lumen Foundation that is dedicated to saving lives from heart attacks and in creating population-based STEMI networks. Dr. Mehta is the Course Director of Lumen Global, the iconic AMI meeting, now in its 16th year, and an international rendezvous of STEMI thought leaders and a power house of generating protocols that improve STEMI care in low and middle income countries.
Dr. Mehta has published extensively about improving STEMI outcomes by optimizing procedural techniques and by refining the STEMI process. Eliminating chaos, streamlining pre-hospital care and efficient ambulance transportation form his cornerstone mandates of decreasing delays that result in increased morbidity and mortality from AMI. More recently, Dr. Mehta’s research and training endeavors in AMI care have involved the use of telemedicine to reduce disparities of care between developed and developing countries and to increase access to urgent treatment for AMI.
Dr. Sameer Mehta is the author of five Textbooks on STEMI Interventions that are widely referenced for AMI management.
